| 104 | Lorel Martens | Anything and everything needs to be done to evaulate newborns. I urge passage of this bill, and commend your efforts at the undertaking. |

| 106 | Jeannie Reynolds | This screening would have significantly reduced my daughter's first hospital stay. By the time we knew something was wrong at 8 days old, she was in cardiac shock. She had to be stabalized before her first surgery could be performed...this took 4 weeks. |
| 107 | Jill Harris | My daughter passed away of CHD on Sept. 14,2006. She was 4 months old. Any information that you can find out about this terrible disease would be helpful in the future.

| 109 | Deeana Fain | This could save so many lives. |
| 110 | Julie Hayes | As a mother to a son born with a CHD who wasn't diagnosed until hours after birth, I say "Yes! Please pass this!!" Such a simple test can save so many lives. |

| 112 | Bethany Adamson | This would save so many lives! |

| 114 | Jennifer Hicks | If my daughter would have had this test done we would have known right away there was a problem rather than waiting 1 1/2 days. We were lucky that there weren't any complications! |

| 118 | sibahan sanders | If this were to be passed. It would make a very big impact. My son was taken at 10 days old, nearly dead because of an undiagnosed heart problem in utero.He died in oct 2004. |

| 121 | Frances lopez | This is very important! This will help catch problems before the children are home and things could get worse |

| 128 | Anonymous | My grandson was born 2 yrs ago with Transpositioning of the Great Vessels of his heart and this would have been a good test for him. |
| 129 | Anonymous | I would love to see this in Texas as well. |

| 132 | Kim Davis | My son was not screened at birth and he almost died after we came home. He was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect . Had we known about the problem we would have had him in the hospital immediately and wouldn't have risked his life. PLEASE test babies at birth. This could save a life. Maybe your own child's or grandchild's life. |

| 138 | Rebekah Boyer | Pulse ox testing could do so much good in detecting CHD in newborns. As a mother of a CHD child, I know how critical early detection is for the outcome of the child. Please pass this bill! |
| 139 | Bobbi Poppa | |
| 140 | Mary Haddix | In my opinion this is a very necessary test for newborns. I thought it was already done. By using the pulse ox on newborns maybe lives could be saved or at least be treated earlier than waiting weeks or months & then find out the baby has a problem. |

| 142 | Carol Nassif | I am the parent of a child wih Congenital heart disease. The earlier it is identified the better for the child. Pulse oximetry is a easy non invasive test. |
| 143 | Rebecca L Thomas | I am happy to sign this petition. Almost six years ago kids like our family became parents of a CHD child. "Miles is our miracle boy thanks to the wonderful care he has received from the doctors at Vanderbilt. "Childrens lives should never be about politics" only requested by a leading physician in the that specialty, patients visited firsthand if necessary, and approved. Why does it have to be so difficult and long to get things done in TN ? |

| 147 | CLAUDIA BECKER | Definitely a valuable diagnostic technique............let's hope the word spreads across the USA |
